I know the lovely owners of these cars would bite my head off now, but I think 996 is like Lindsay Lohan.

Still carrying celebrity status, but you'll always be nervous about her next expensive breakdown. Oh, and they can usually be seen at ALDI carparks hehe

Mine went to Lidl to pick up some German cooked meat before, but never ALDI...

Very nearly bought one about 5 years ago, full 'council' spec, a tip with full aero kit. paperbag
At the time the better half had a 986 Boxster and it really wasn't different enough, or exciting enough to trade the TVR at the time, at basement money they have got a monumental bork factor but that's half the fun, the Boxster ended up as an uneconomical mechanical writeoff headache
Still tempted from time to time with a 997 though scratchchin

I have a 996 and yes I shop at aldi each week, so you are right. Although I only take it when its not raining.
Mine is a 98 model and sails through MOT's and everything works perfectly on it. I only do about two k a year in it due to other things to do. This year I haven't spent a penny on it yet, not sure even if it needs on oil change as 2k on mobil 1 seems a waste.
